The Best Latin American Food in Portland, Oregon | Eater Portland
"The Pacific Northwest isn’t exactly overflowing with Caribbean restaurants, but for Puerto Rican food like crispy alcapurrias (plantains with seasoned ground beef) and bacalaitos fritos (salt cod fritters), head to Beaverton’s Boriken. One of the restaurant’s most popular dishes is its mofongo, a tasty mound of fried plantains mashed with chicharrones; the restaurant’s mofongos come with a choice of protein, ranging from skirt steak to slow-roasted pernil. No dish is complete without the shop’s garlicky mojo."
